Chapter 287 The War of the Heirs
Overall, Zhao Ying, who didn't know her father had passed away, remained very optimistic.
Chen Yan didn't know how to tell her about this.
What he thought was that he should at least investigate the details first before considering how to explain it to her.
After all, judging from the fact that Zhao Xuan had already recorded his response when Zhao Ying called home, Zhao Xuan did not like Zhao Ying to know the news of his death.
As for other topics...
We didn't talk much.
Because Chen Yan discovered that he and Zhao Ying were not the same kind of people.
Zhao Ying is the type of person who relies on feelings to make decisions, while Chen Yan uses reason to make decisions.
This results in two people talking about the same thing from completely different angles.
Moreover, Zhao Ying is like a spirit from nature, with an innate free and optimistic temperament, while Chen Yan has become more calm and restrained as his career develops.
This makes it seem like the two of them, when they sit together to eat, are two different kinds of people.
When they were just friends, Chen Yan didn't notice these things, but now that their relationship has become closer, Chen Yan discovered the incompatibility between them.
Therefore, for these reasons, after accompanying Zhao Ying to eat a meal, Chen Yan sent Zhao Ying back to school.
Instead of sending her to the girls' dormitory like he did to Yu Qiaoqiao, Chen Yan just sent her to the school gate and watched her leave.
After seeing her jumping and running away, Chen Yan sighed, turned and walked towards the company.
For a girl like this, Chen Yan really didn't want her life to be affected, so he could only investigate the whole story in advance, and then see what method he could use to minimize the impact on Zhao Ying.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan's eyes gradually became firm:
No matter if it was because he took Zhao Ying away on his own initiative, or because Zhao Xuan entrusted him with his care twice, or because Zhao Ying just happened to become his third girlfriend.
Out of emotion, reason, morality and interests, Chen Yan had no choice but to take on the responsibility of taking care of Zhao Ying.
When he arrived at the company, Chen Yan was still a little immersed in the responsibility of taking care of a girl.
As a result, when the elevator door opened and Chen Yan just walked into the company, a company executive who was on the road said with a smile, "Mr. Chen! Congratulations!"
Hearing the employee's words, Chen Yan looked up in surprise, wondering why someone suddenly congratulated him.
As a result, he heard the executive say , "Now that Miss Lu Man has become the best actress, it looks like our film and television company is going to have explosive growth!"
After hearing the executive's explanation, Chen Yan suddenly remembered that he had such a big happy event in the past two days.
He couldn't help but temporarily put Zhao Ying's matter behind his mind, and then said with a smile, "It's all thanks to Lu Man. The film and television company should develop greatly, but our game company will not be bad either."
“I’m optimistic about our new game.”
The executive nodded, "I think our new game will be a big hit too!"
Then, on the way to her office, Chen Yan received many blessings, all of which were to celebrate Lu Man's winning the title of Best Actress.
Because they both belong to Chen Yan's company and their offices are so close to each other, the two companies are very familiar with each other. So if the other party has any big moves, everyone will pay special attention.
Not to mention, this incident has caused such a big fuss.
After returning to the office and turning on the computer, Chen Yan discovered how hot the news of Lu Man becoming queen was.
After all, this first young actress to be crowned queen has a special meaning.
In addition, Lu Man’s experiences this year were extremely legendary, so when the two aspects were combined, the topic became a hot topic.
Whether it is Weibo, Zhihu, or various forums, everyone is discussing this matter.
Meilijie also listened to Chen Yan's request early on and arranged a simple interview for Lu Man. The content of the interview was Lu Man's opinion on her title as the queen.
The overall outline is in accordance with Chen Yan’s ideas, just two words: humility, humility, and more humility!
Now Lu Man is already a big step ahead of other young actresses of the same age. What she needs is to calm down and be low-key.
After all, she doesn't need to fight for anything anymore, she is number one among her age.
I have to say that Chen Yan's judgment is correct.
After Lu Man won the award, there were mixed reactions online: some thought she deserved the award, while others thought she was a bit undeserving.
But after this interview came out and was promoted, the overall reputation and public opinion began to shift towards Lu Man.
After all, Lu Man's performance in "Love Is Not Blind" was not bad, and she deserved the award. It's just... not that convincing.
Now Lu Man himself said that he still has a lot of shortcomings, that the award was a lot of luck, and that he would work hard to deserve this award.
When this kind of remarks came out, no matter what else, at least fans and passers-by were very satisfied.
It can be said that this publicity strategy has earned a lot of passers-by fans.
Those in the circle who were paying attention to Lu Man’s awards and publicity were also a little surprised at this time.
Originally they thought Lu Man had no chance of winning the award, but unexpectedly, Lu Man won the award.
They originally thought that Lu Man's winning the award would cause a wave of public backlash, but who would have thought that Lu Man handled this wave of public relations crisis very well and even gained a wave of passers-by fans.
For a moment, everyone in the circle was a little surprised.
I think Lu Man has the help of an expert.
Otherwise, this public relations would not have come out so quickly, nor would it have been handled so properly.
After learning about the online reputation and Lu Man's current situation, Chen Yan was very satisfied.
After successfully becoming the queen, Lu Man's career has entered the fast lane. With the help of the new variety show, Chen Yan believes that he will not need to be distracted in the short term.
His next focus will shift to Yu Qiaoqiao and new games.
After all, Boss Qiaoqiao is his first online girlfriend, and the new game becoming a big hit is Chen Yan’s dream!
Of course... In addition to these two thoughts, Chen Yan now has one more thing to do: to find out the inside story of Zhao Xuan's death, and to find a way to take good care of Zhao Ying...
Maybe because Chen Yan didn't come to work in the morning, the day passed quickly.
Chen Yan just processed a few documents, and then experienced the beta version of the new game with Fat Phoenix and Cheng Tianxiang, and an entire afternoon passed.
As it was almost time to get off work, Chen Yan finally received the message from Qin Ming.
He told Chen Yan that He Mengxue asked him to meet her at the bar where she met Chen Yan last time at 7 o'clock in the evening.
Although he didn't know why He Mengxue always asked him out at a bar, in order to find out the whole story, Chen Yan still agreed.
After work, Chen Yan went downstairs to eat something to fill his stomach, and then took a taxi to meet He Mengxue.
When he saw He Mengxue again, Chen Yan found that she seemed different from last time.
She was wearing a well-fitting women's suit, holding a lighter and cigarette case in one hand, and a cigarette in the other, smoking elegantly.
Seeing Chen Yan coming over, she quietly took the cigarette out of her mouth and then calmly put it in the ashtray.
Chen Yan pretended not to notice. He looked around the bar and asked, "You always ask me to meet here. Won't that affect the business of this bar?"
Hearing Chen Yan's words, He Mengxue waved her hand indifferently, "I don't care about this little money."
Chen Yan nodded in understanding: It seems that this bar belongs to He Mengxue. No wonder she always asks me to meet here.
Sitting next to He Mengxue, Chen Yan took the initiative to ask, "Let's chat?"
He Mengxue's lazy eyes fell on Chen Yan and asked, "What to talk about? Talk about me, or talk about the one from the Zhao family."
Although Chen Yan was more interested in Zhao Xuan's affairs, He Mengxue took the initiative to bring up her own topic, and it was not convenient for him to just avoid it, so he said, "Let's talk about them one by one."
"What’s wrong with you?"
He Mengxue put the cigarette box on the table and sighed, "I'm leaving our family's company."
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, "Why?"
"You...haven't you already reached the level of vice president of the business unit?"
He Mengxue nodded and said a little sadly, "Yes. But... my dad called me over today and wanted me to start a business."
"Starting a business?" Chen Yan asked in surprise.
He Mengxue nodded again, "It's not just me. All the heirs of the prominent families in Qindao have been kicked out of the family, and asked us to go out and start our own business."
Chen Yan: …
Chen Yan was a little confused.
"why is that?"
He Mengxue sneered, "It's all Zhao Xuan's fault."
"I don't know what kind of drug he gave our parents. He made them believe that the future belongs to the young, and only young people like us can understand what young people like."
"Now, under the impact of the Internet wave, traditional industries are struggling. So why not give it a try and see if we can find a way out?"
"So, all of Qindao's thirty-plus top heirs were kicked out of the family, leaving us to start this war ourselves."
Chen Yan: …
For a moment, Chen Yan didn't even know whether these wealthy people were smart or stupid.
Is starting a business that simple?
If you understand what young people like, you can start a business?
Isn’t this too naive?
He looked at He Mengxue and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
He Mengxue twisted her brown hair with her fingers, looked at Chen Yan with interest, and said with her cherry lips slightly parted, "A little bit..."
